Resort guide

The highest ski resort in Europe at 2300 meters it sure doesn’t have an issue with lack of snow! Val Thorens is renowned as a lively place with super high skiing. The highest skiable peaks area Point du Bouchet and Cime de Caron at around 3200 meters. It also have one of the biggest cable cars in the world with a rather large capacity of 150 passengers.

Many of the slopes are north and north-west facing so don’t get much sun but the resort itself is south facing so this is the place to top up the goggle tan. First built in 1971 a French ski champion likened it to living in the wild west, a rather chilly wild west that would have been.

Over time Val Thorens has defiantly become a more sophisticated ski resort and now has many work class hotels and residences to pick from. Val Thorens has 140 km of pistes and is closely joined to another 160 km winding down the Belleville Valley to Les Menuires. All levels of skiers will find a place to keep themselves entertained with a good selection of pistes for all levels.

With the perfect snow conditions at this hight off piste adventures are a plenty and with one week the local stuff will keep you busy and very happy. Apres ski in Val Thorens is exceptional with plenty of live music on at the Saloon bar and if you want to head over to the highest British Pub in Europe the Frog and Roast Beef with be the place for a pint or two.
